GBM 4: SDG #5 Gender Equality

This past Thursday Penn State UNA-USA hosted DaysForGirls and Gender Equity Coalition to discuss SDG #5: Gender Equality! DaysForGirls discussed current inequities experienced by menstrators both domestically and internationally as well as sustainable period products that can be used as alternatives to the current plastic products widely used today. Their presentation led to a discussion about women's health and how we can work to destigmatize conversations about menstration. The Gender Equity Coaliation spoke to our members about sexual violence, reproductive rights, and intersectionality. They also educated our members on the differences between equality and equity, an important distinction. Next meeting, we will be exploring SDG #4: Quality Education!
